Suzy was nine and I was ten

right at the time when boys like to think they're men

she used to follow us from school

we really thought that she was a little fool

and one day we said to her

"we don't want to hurt you girl

but you'd better



Look for a friend of your own

Suzy-hang-around

better come back when you're grown

Suzy-hang-around

nobody wants you around here and that's for sure

so get off our playground and stay away

that's all that we've got to say

Suzy-hang-around"



Suzy ran home to mama's arms

mama said "look, she's never done you no harm

so get off her back and let her be

why can't you play together in harmony?"

we really didn't know what to say

but as soon as she went away

we laughed and said



"Look for a friend of your own

Suzy-hang-around

better come back when you're grown

Suzy-hang-around

nobody wants you around here and that's for sure

so get off our playground and stay away

that's all that we've got to say

Suzy-hang-around"
